giffgaff getting DDOS attacked (apparently)

[gindygoo]

Hey guys,

Don't know if anyone has mentioned but gg are apparently under attack from a DDOS... It's definitely been on and off for the last 24hrs+ but no word on what the cause is.

Somebody posted on the forums to make sure u were topped up as they were going to attack it...

Then it went down.

Charlie.

GiffGaff is up?

[gindygoo]

Yes, just checked and I can get on again! It's definitely been down again this morning. For how long I don't know, I posted on this thread just after trying for the first time today...

😞

It's what happens after ddos attacks, they update the security software on the servers, unfortunately this means taking things offline while they do it,

@viridis ahh that'll explain it then as it was the incapsula page that was coming up.

Blimey interesting (if that's the word lol) times for gg! Let's hope that they can secure against another attack.
